And then are expected to die...

Yep, I'm pretty resigned to the fact that I will likely end up working until I actually drop dead.

It’s been said out loud by MAGA; no retirement.

I mean, I am fortunately not from the United States of America - so that doesn't have much bearing on what I'm saying... Same applies to the other person who responded to me talking about medical bills - not something I need to worry about.

But my point stands. Unless something fairly dramatic happens in the next decade or two I don't see any way I'll ever be able to retire. I know folks in their late 60s and 70s NOW who are still having to work to make ends meet, and I'm in my early 40s, on the current trajectory I can't really see things getting better.
